Antigravity v2.1.4 on Windows 11 shows blank screen / wrong local port after startup

Title: Antigravity v2.1.4 on Windows 11: GPU crash on normal launch, and blank UI / wrong local port after workaround flags

Environment

  • App: Antigravity v2.1.4

  • OS: Windows 11 Home 25H2 (Build 10.0.26200)

  • Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 3520

  • GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics

  • Updated graphics driver to: Intel Graphics Driver 32.0.101.7088

Problem summary
Antigravity does not open correctly on my Windows laptop.

Behavior without launch flags

Launching Antigravity normally causes Electron GPU-process failures and the app exits. The logs show messages like:

  • GPU process exited unexpectedly

  • GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

Behavior with workaround launch flags

If I launch Antigravity with:

"C:\Users\yasht\AppData\Local\Programs\antigravity\Antigravity.exe" --disable-gpu-sandbox --disable-gpu --use-angle=swiftshader

then the app no longer crashes immediately, but the Antigravity window is just a blank/black screen.

I also opened the local Antigravity URL in the browser and it is blank / fails as well.


Troubleshooting already attempted

I already tried the following:

  1. Deleted/renamed %APPDATA%\Antigravity to clear Antigravity profile/cache

  2. Deleted cache-related folders under the Antigravity profile

  3. Tried --disable-gpu

  4. Tried Electron/software-rendering environment variables

  5. Updated Intel Iris Xe graphics driver to 32.0.101.7088

  6. Rebooted after the driver update

  7. Tested Antigravity again

The issue still persists.


Important logs / findings

language_server.log

The language server appears to start successfully and listen on:

  • 51986 for HTTPS (gRPC)

  • 51987 for HTTP

The log ends with successful initialization, e.g.:

  • language server listening on random port at 51986 for HTTPS

  • language server listening on random port at 51987 for HTTP

  • initialized server successfully

main.log

main.log shows Antigravity auto-reloading the window to different local ports. In particular, I observed:

  • first it used a local UI URL like:

    • https://127.0.0.1:53227/
  • later it auto-reloaded the window to:

    • https://127.0.0.1:51986/

However, 51986 is the language server backend port according to language_server.log, not the frontend UI port.

This suggests Antigravity may be reloading the UI window to the language server gRPC port instead of the correct frontend app/UI port.

Browser / DevTools symptoms

When I opened the local page in the browser and checked DevTools, I saw errors such as:

  • ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

  • failed POST requests to:

    • /exa.language_server_pb.LanguageServerService/...

The browser page and Electron window both remain blank.


Suspected bug

It looks like there may be two related issues on Windows:

  1. GPU-process crash on normal launch for this Electron build / environment

  2. Incorrect window reload / routing to the language server port after using workaround flags, causing the frontend to stay blank

The most suspicious behavior is that the app reloads to https://127.0.0.1:51986/, even though that appears to be the language server backend port rather than the actual frontend UI port.


Request

Could you please check whether Antigravity v2.1.4 on Windows has:

  • a GPU startup regression with Intel Iris Xe / Electron

  • and/or a bug in the local auto-restart / port-routing logic that reloads the UI to the backend language-server port?

I can provide screenshots and the full main.log / language_server.log if needed.
